When it was presented in 1967 at the Milan Furniture Fair, the chair received such acclaim from the public that many visitors left the stand, taking the ones on display with them. As a consequence of this unorthodox compliment, the chairs were tied to the stand with a chain. Thanks to Plia and his study on the “three-disc pivot”, thus revolutionizing the concept of the folding chair, Giancarlo Piretti has gone down in history with the nickname of “Thonet of the 20th century”. Available in different colors, from the steel frame to its seat and backrest, it even boasts a version in Vienna straw stretched over a solid wood frame, capable of further enriching an icon of all-Italian style.
Anonima Castelli is one of Italy’s most innovative post-war furniture manufacturers, founded in Bologna in 1877 and internationally recognised for its forward-thinking approach to industrial design. In the 1960s and 70s, the company became synonymous with functional modernism, collaborating with designers such as Giancarlo Piretti to create pieces that redefined flexibility in living and working environments.
Estimated lead time 12-14 weeks.
